The RSPCA have released footage of a man kicking a dog in the head in Darlington.
Warning this footage contains violence:
The man was caught on CCTV pulling the dog and then kicking it on Sunday 17th May outside The Navy Club on Northgate.
RSPCA inspector Clare Wilson said: “The footage shows the man going to walk off, but the dog doesn’t appear to want to follow him. He tries to drag the dog, but then turns and kicks the poor animal right under the chin, just like you’d kick a football.
“A witness said they saw the man beat the dog five or six times, which isn’t seen on the footage. She said she even heard a crunching noise as he beat the dog.
“It is hard to see any details of what the man looks like, but he was apparently wearing a white t-shirt, a body warmer, navy jogging bottoms with white stripes and trainers.
“The dog looks either like a mastiff or a big bull breed and is a tan colour.
“It is an absolutely shocking incident and I’m urging anyone who knows anything about who the man or the dog are to call me as soon as possible.”
